 * Alright I have something here that I’ve almost been able to do but not quite 
   the way I want to. Now guys I realize this is going to take some editing of the
   core files but I really have a gut feeling that this isn’t so hard, I just don’t
   know where to start.
 * I want to add more content textareas for writing or editing a post. I’m not happy
   with just having a big textarea to put everything into, because with the way 
   I have things setup I will be having other users who would need some structure
   to their posts, such as:
 * Name: xxx
    Address: xxx E-Mail: xxx
 * …just as we have “Title” and the appropriate text input to add whatever it is
   you want for the title. There has to be a way to do this or a plugin that exists
   so custom form elements can be added to the Write or Edit Post forms. To keep
   what is entered saved might require a new table in the database but I’m surprised
   to not have found any attempts to add more form elements to the Write or Edit
   Post forms so far.

 * *UPDATE – I found a neat plugin which lets me add Custom Fields via form elements
   and I now have my three text inputs showing up on my Write and Edit Post pages.
   Now all I need is to figure out how to #1 style the values of these Custom Fields
   and #2 display these Custom Fields for each and every post. Any ideas? I’m guessing
   that’s simply a few lines of php that could be added to my index.php file? Thanks
   again for any help!
